Since God loves us to follow His Word, wouldn't it be nice if God gave us a set of plans like He gave Moses for the Tabernacle, so that we would know how to be the best husband or wife? And wouldn't it be great to have a set of guidelines to know just who we should marry: what they would look like, act like, and so on?

Well the great news is that God has provided a completely detailed set of instructions for how to recognize the absolutely right person to marry if you are looking, or the exact set of operating instructions to become the best husband or wife if you are already married. That is what so much of God's Word is written about: How we can please and serve God in the relationship and activity that will span most of our earthly lives.

Today, whoever we are, and where ever we are in our life, we can be praying about our life and marriage and the lives and marriages of those we love—from God's Word!
